Time Differential
Time differential, abbreviated as \(\Delta t'\), is the time that has passed as measured by a stationary observer.

\(\large{ \Delta t' = \gamma \; \Delta t }\) | ||
Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ \Delta t' }\) = time differential | \(\large{ sec }\) | \(\large{ s }\) |
\(\large{ \gamma }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = Lorentz factor | \(\large{ dimensionless }\) | |
\(\large{ \Delta t }\) = time that has passed by the traveling observer | \(\large{ sec }\) | \(\large{ s }\) |

\(\large{ \Delta t' = \frac{\Delta t}{\sqrt{1\;-\;\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } }\) | ||
Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ \Delta t' }\) = time differential | \(\large{ sec }\) | \(\large{ s }\) |
\(\large{ \Delta t }\) = time that has passed by the traveling observer | \(\large{ sec }\) | \(\large{ s }\) |
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity of the traveling observer | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ c }\) = speed of light | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\) |
